It's a done deal, I'm going out to Daytona to have a bead seat poured and pedals adjusted next week, I'll be racing it at Winterfest in January. It's a sub-2:00 car at Sebring, I just need to make myself a sub-2:00 driver.

I'm having a new engine put in the Radical in January and then it will be up for sale; this time I'm using authentic Powertec parts, i.e. $$$, so whomever buys it should get a car as reliable as when I first bought the car when it went for 27 running hours with no issues other than my bending a shift fork from not getting the clutch in quick enough during a spin. I tried to go the cheap route with the first rebuild which resulted in a cam chain failure 8 hours later, then tried to go the cheap route again with a non-Powertec engine when I was pressed for time and that blew up on me this past weekend, so the car will be done right this time if anyone is interested; it's a 2:09 car when driven well, I did a 2:19 in it last weekend on the bad motor.
